Inconsistencies Between the Zoopedia and the Education Boards

[Mjmannella]

As the beta's come to an end, my final moments playing in made me realize something. That thing being that there's biome inconsistencies between the zoopedia and the education boards. I've included (imo) the strongest example of such conflict using the Indian rhinoceros.

There are more examples, including one for the Goliath frog! This issue makes it hard for player to get accurate information to give their animals the right foliage (and speaking of foliage, I filtered out reeds that were suitable for my African grassland animals, but selecting the reeds showed that they aren't really in the grassland biome??).

I just hope this is misinformation is corrected when the game launches proper.

I think on the education boards are just the continents to see where the animal is from. If you would use the small region in india you won't see anything on that board.
But agree with the reeds, sometimes I just ignored some incompatibilities because there were so few plants to use and I needed some decoration for the waterhole so I often used reeds. I hope in the full release or later will be even more plants to use and a lower "plant-stress-level" for the animals.

Edit:
See with the mandrills it's the same. There is whole africa displayed.

The contients isn't the issue, the biomes are. The Zoopedia lists them as being in the grassland and temperate biomes, while on the education board they're in the grassland; tropical; and aquatic biomes.

Ah, yes I see. Agreed. The oceanic biome for rhino would even sound like wrong.

Besides of that, is there any animal from the beta (or confirmed for release) with the oceanic biome or could this be a possible hint for future animals (living in or near the water)?

The beta already showed that the hippopotamus and gharial use the aquatic biome, so it probably refers to both freshwater and saltwater bodies.
I imagine the saltwater crocodile would also use this biome.
